Subject: Xenix386 software?
As another sideline in my vintage computing, I've been wanting to get a
Xenix 2.3.4 system set up. No good reason, just because I think it would be
fun. I used it briefly early in my career so I have a soft spot for it
despite it's massive amounts of cruft and breakage. O_o I currently have the
base OS & Developer Kit set up in emulation. My goal, unlikely though it is,
is to get as complete a Xenix system as possible up and running on an old
386 or 486 class laptop.
However, the various unbundled bits are rare as which ever proverb you care
to use.
The unbundled kits I'm still looking for are these:
386 Developer kit 2.3.1 (I have 2.3.0d)
CGI 1.1.0
Text Processing 2.3.0 (nroff & friends)
Manual Pages 2.3.0
VP/ix 1.2.0 vpix (run MS-DOS apps slowly.) TCP/IP Runtime 1.2.0 tcprt (it'd
be fun to run Lynx!) (Depends on Streams) TCP/IP Development 1.0.1 tcpdev
Streams Runtime 1.0.0 streamsrt Streams Toolkit 1.0.0 streamstk
Of course apps like Word, Multiplan, FoxPro & etc would be wonderful if
unlikely as well.
My budget is somewhere between slim and none.
Can anyone assist or point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
William

I know next to nothing abt Xenix, except that I have in a retail box (that
has been opened) SCO Xenix 286. Inlcudes 10 5.25" diskettes labeled
Installation (Vol N1-N3), Basic Utilities (Vol B1-B2), Extended Utilities
(Vol X1-X4), and Games (vol 1).
Type 286AT, release 2.3. The SCO PN seems to be 018-720-038. Includes also
4 thick reference binders, User's Guide, User's Reference, Installation &
Maintenance, and Run Time Environment. Listing is here:

If price does not seem reasonable, contact me off-list. Check-out on cart
is not working as of right now.
Also have Xenix version of various programs for the old TRS-80 machines,
some are still retail sealed, others have been opened.
